The model ignores the fact that much of our behaviour is automatic and not under thoughtful control. Bernd Schmitt described the -sense-feel-think-act-relate - sequence in his book 'Experiential Marketing' and Antonio Damasio described the neuroscience that underpins it in his book 'The Feeling of What Happens'. Much of the acting takes place without a great deal, or any thinking at all. Good job or we would never get anything done!
The model also ignores the fact that how we are perceived depends as much on the situation, and the perceptions, experiences and attitudes of the person perceiving us, as on anything we do. That is why two witnesses to the same 'crime' often report seeing completely different things, despite being in exactly the same place at exactly the same time. - Shine

We are being asked to unlearn what we know, to surrender the virtues that can only be acquired in conditions of freedom, and to become a lesser people than we are. The land of the free and the home of the brave could soon be transformed into the land of the dependent and the home of the infantilized. - Shine

Living in the moment is a sophisticated way to live. I don't see depression. I don't see some of the things that afflict our society - and that's not because they don't face pressures. People who claim that I'm Eurocentric and putting these people down need to read the book and decide for themselves." - Shine

“The Art of Reading Green,What can You make of Them?”
First, I believe it means that we need to focus on delivering our messages to a large number of people ho do not have our training to help them analyze complex subjects. Taken another way, we can't go to the vast majority of Americans and tell that global warming is "highly likely" to be caused by human action, since they haven't been taught how to interpret that phrase statistically. - Shine

But even ultra-affluent Dubai is fragile these days. You see, this gem of the postmodern, globalized economy doesn't really produce anything of value -- its oil accounts for only about 5% of gross domestic product. Its economy relies on services, tourism and ... that's about it, actually. Those elaborate hotels, malls, amusement parks and skyscrapers? Heavily leveraged -- built out of the shifting sands and the same intoxicating thin air that sustained Wall Street until recently. - Shine

Videogaming is a child-like experience, whether you're playing the latest Disney tie-in or Manhunt 2. In a new virtual environment, we're all children, and the emotions connected with being bullied, or punished or frustrated by seemingly simple tasks are quick to surface. Smith's point is that this should never happen; that all games, like schools, can teach us about our place in the world, but only by providing a supportive framework to creativity and fun. - Shine
